Triumph has finished off the first quarter strongly, 17 units up on the same period for 2008.
8 April 2009 – Press Release
"We are particularly pleased to be in a 'positive' position, given the current economic climate," said Triumph's Marketing Manager, Mal Jarrett. "Once again our bikes in the 'Naked' segment performed extremely well, with the Street Triple at a 26.4% increase and first place in the category, the Bonneville at a 6.1% increase and second place in the category, and the Thruxton achieving a 29.2% increase and eighth place in the category. The T100 also made it into the top 10 in the category at fifth place.
"The Sprint ST was also a star performer for us, with a whopping 116.7% increase over the corresponding period in 2008, and finishing third best seller overall in the 'Sports Touring' category.
Although it's still early days, it appears that during these tough economic times customers are turning to a brand that can be trusted not only for being a reliable mount, but a brand that will retain its resale value and be around for many years to come.
